About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My brother (17 years old) studied last year in england and my mum doesn´t want him to get his english rusted but at the same time he doesn´t want to take lessons as its dead borring. So my mum´s offering people to come and stay in our house in Spain in exchange of some English time with my brother. I think it might be ideal for people that´d like to learn Spanish, find a job here or just spend some tima around not worrying much,

ABOUT ME

I started this profile with a friend that is not with me in this anymore, but I´d like to leave the descriptions as they are ^^

María is a cheerful person that has a positive energy which makes you feel eassy, as if everything is alwais going to be fine.

Alba is a wonderful person, when you are with her you always feel beloved, she treats everybody with respect and kindness. Something distinguish of her is her honesty and also that she always thinks of others before herself making everybody feel eassy besides her.

PHILOSOPHY

I do not know what or where is the goal. I have my ideals as a map, to have some sort of guidelines to chose the route, of course sometimes I missunderstand the directions, get lost or simple ignore the marked path...anyways,this map is quite peculiar because it keeps changing, and even if it doesn´t change I never know if it is right...I have to question it all the time, delate and paint, delate and paint...Most of the times it makes sense, at least to me anyway...I guess it is a process of an abstract piece of art,or maybe I like to see it that way, hope as a whole it creates harmony.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve had many couchsurffing experiences and I enjoyed all of them I spent a great time with the people I met and felt really welcomed at their place.
As I don´t have a place to offer at the moment I´m ussing this profile to offer my parents house as my mum would love to have some english speaking person around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the northen lights.

Teach, Learn, Share

It´d be great if you are interrested at staying the whole academic course but it´s also good if you want to come for a couple of months. In exchange of the facilities my mum asks for an hour per day mon-fry to help my brother practicing his english during the afternoon/evening (however fits better for both of you).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide work contacts, places to have fun, wonderful people to meet and pretty much anything I can help with (I won´t be around much but I´m pretty accesable).
